I got a custom dyno tune from EC for power, but wanted to go back to smoothness that AA's off-the-shelf tune has. I have no idea how EC's regular canned tune is! Both are excellent as there are problems with both but also many similarities. TL;DR both do the same damn thing

Question: When doing this mod, would you need to reflash the ecu to a stock 330i program to use it correctly, or would an AA tune suffice?

So yes, you SHOULD get a reflash to fully utilize it.

Got it! Thank you! One more question, how would one go about finding a 330i reflash, or would it be replacing the entire ECU's? Sorry I've been reading up on this mod for a while now and always have been confused about the whole reflash and where to get it! Thanks for the help!

By doing that, you will get the exact same manifold as the 330, x5 etc. The earlier models from 530 were almost the same manifold (before 10/2005). The difference was that they only had 1 return port for crankcase pressure. I bought a manifold from a 02/2006 and it was same part number as 330 manifold. |

Take the manifold part number and go to realoem.com. Then paste the part number into the search box. You will then see how many models use the manifold. (all later generation) |

I believe their stage 2 tune works regardless if you have the manifold or not. |

When i used car-part.com
I searched for a X3 3.0 intake manifold. It has DISA and is exact fit for 328i/128i and its a bit newer too I will edit this post as I read more into the thread. I would say that to build one you need the following, the rest is swap from your car. -Plastic manifold -2 adjusters with the required long bolts -6 new gaskets Take lots of photos of your current set up and when you disassemble it to know where to put the parts. You can always use carpart for a stripped manifold and but the adjuster units new( 300 a peace :S). The DIY is 6 hours because of the cable loom attached to the bottom of stock manifold. You must use 35-37mm torx or unclip the top lid. Its quite a pain. Another pain is the connection tubes behind the manifold as per the z4 DIY.

On 1addicts 128i section. Evolve has made a fantastic thread for their new tune that aims to bump the power to euro 130i+ level. Its pricey but if the gains hold its the best option that does not need one to send the ECU to germany

Dunno if that has changed. But they didn't want to look further into the problem (so I returned it) Last edited by DESI4life10; 12-11-2012 at 10:42 AM.. |

Thanks for the input.
Did you dyno their tune? Did you try the stage 1 or stage 2 tune. I hope that they changed it, otherwise I dont see why they would be promoting it with a dyno and all.
